Subs in Schools Brighton Secondary School has been invited to participate in the Future Submarine initiative as part of Re-engineering Australia’s push to support and develop STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) programs in Australia. There are three students this year who will present their submarine to the Australian Engineers Convention in Melbourne, as part of their Stage Two Technology course. Next year will see the RC Submarine course offered to Year 11 students.
eChallenge Two student teams entered the entrepreneurship eChallenge program for schools held in conjunction with the University of Adelaide. The teams were required to create a product or business with the potential to be successful in the real world. The teams’ ideas were the creation of free mobile calls and a watch that monitored the condition of people’s hearts and sent out GPS locations to emergency services if the person’s heart rate indicated they were in trouble. The Year 11 team ‘BrightLife’ won 2nd prize overall and won the major prize of a ‘Day at Microsoft’ with their heart watch concept.
